The Infinity of Irrationals

The infinity of irrationals
Is greater than the infinity of fractions.
Which makes perfect sense
Really,
For your tirade
Seeming always infinite
Was characteristic of such a temper
Neither fair
Or dour.
Epic sagas full of spittle
And volume.
You were so angry,
Disproportionate,
It seemed
To the issue at hand.
And how funny is it
That mathematicians
Can quantify
Your temper with a simple truth.
That much of what your breath was wasted on
Was disproportionate,
In all senses
Of
Space and time.
I couldn't argue back
Those shifting goal posts did not conform
To reason
Or logic.
What was the use.
Hand me a continuum hypothesis.
